Castle of Bommiers

The ruins include a quadrangular courtyard, of which only an impressive curtain wall remains (early 13th century) and another courtyard of which only the boot-shaped enclosure remains. No towers flanked the curtain walls, which are almost completely in tact. A rectangular outcrop is all that remains of the northern lateral wall of a Romanesque chapel. An imposing mound was once topped with 12th-century keep, of which only the 14m base remains. It was protected by a polygonal envelope reinforced by two 13th-century towers that are still well preserved. Like most of the châteaux in Bas-Berry, Bommiers underwent major rebuilding after the Hundred Years' War, and only the layout of the original design remains. It is one of the few castles with a ditch and courtyard from the 12th/13th centuries
